German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was pictured enjoying a cup of tea on Sunday at a street corner in Delhi.
In a tweet, the German Embassy in India said they took Mr Scholz to their favourite tea shop in Chanakyapuri, and also shared pictures of him relishing a ‘delicious cup of chai.’
“How can you experience India without a delicious cup of Chai? We took Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz to our favourite tea shop on a street corner in Chanakyapuri. You should all go! A true taste of India,” the embassy tweeted.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted a ‘Meghalaya Stole’ and a ‘Nagaland Shawl’ to Chancellor Scholz.
Meghalaya stoles were originally woven for the Khasi and Jaintia royalty, who considered them as a symbol of their power and status.
The weaving of Meghalaya stoles has been passed down through generations with a rich history.
Also, the shawls woven for centuries by the tribes in Nagaland are known for their vibrant colours, intricate designs, and the use of traditional weaving techniques, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
On Saturday, the Prime Minister received Scholz for a ceremonial welcome at the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan.
In a tweet, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said Scholz’s visit is an opportunity to further deepen the multifaceted India-Germany strategic partnership.
